Have you ever stumbled across something that was so simple to do, that took very little effort to add to your life, and brought great rewards? I love these kinds of moments because simple and me go perfect together. And when these ideas affect my health in a big way, well, for me, its like hitting the lottery!
I have one of those simple ideas for you and the effect it will have on your health is huge! Ready?
Drink a glass of lukewarm water with lemon juice in it every morning. Better yet, drink lemon water throughout your day. What’s so great about lemon water?
Lemon water is very alkalizing and when your body is in an alkaline state your body functions more optimally.
The body’s entire metabolic process depends on an alkaline environment. When we ingest too many acidic or acid-producing foods, excess acid corrodes tissues and organs, which leads to illness, sickness and disease. In addition, acid also provides a favorable environment for harmful bacteria and other micro organism that can damage organs, glands and body cells.
Its nice to know that simply drinking a glass of lemon water can help maintain the alkalinity of the body and ward off the acid that causes so much damage, but there are additional benefits to drinking lemon water. Here are a few:
- Cleanses the digestive system and helps eliminate waste products from the body more efficiently.
- It prevents the problem of constipation and diarrhea from taking place, by ensuring smooth bowel functions.
- Relieves symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, bloating and belching.
- Good Source of Vitamin C.
- Enhances the beauty of your skin, rejuvenating it from within.
- Cleanses and aids in eliminating waste in the liver.
- Helps cleanse the kidneys.
- Eliminates water retention and helps with weight reduction.
- Lemon is antiseptic thereby able to help reduce or prevent infection
- Contains calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
- Lemon juice has been known to relieve asthma.
- When served hot, offers relief from cold and flu symptoms while providing some much needed Vitamin C.
- Flushes out body toxins
- enhances concentration and decision making
- contains over 68% d-limonene. D-limonene has been extensively studied for its ability to combat tumor growth in over 50 clinical studies.
Great stuff right?
HUGE benefits - very little effort. AWESOME!!
Add some Lemon water to your life and see if you don’t feel the benefits!
You can make this an easy habit to incorporate by using Lemon Essential Oil. A bottle of lemon essential oil is so portable it makes drinking lemon water throughout the day simple and lets face it, it sure beats carrying lemons around with you 
In addition to convenience Lemon Essential Oil is concentrated so a little bit goes a long way. You should know that it takes 3000 lemons to produce 1 kilo (2.2lbs) of lemon oil. Imagine how much benefit you’ll receive from 1 drop of lemon oil in your water.
